Lefkada or Lefkas, along with Corfu, Kefalonia, Ithaca, Zakynthos, Paxoi and Kythira constitute the Ionian Islands. It is a beautiful island with some of the best beaches in the world, including Porto Katsiki and Egremni. Lefkada also has many sights and many picturesque settlements, such as Nydri and Vasiliki (which is also a water sports destination). Although it is an island, access to it is done without the use of a ship, so it is flooded by tourists every summer, and that is why it is more suitable for the energetic traveler (unless you would prefer to go off the beaten track and explore its inland, or visit off-season).
Lefkada is temporarily connected to Nydri with Fiskardo of Kefalonia and Frikes in Ithaca, mainly during the summer months, with small ferry boats. The company “Ionion P. Lines” carries out these services during the summer months with the ferry “Agios Gerasimos”. The ferry connection of Vasiliki Lefkadas with Kefalonia and Ithaca has been suspended due to works at the port of Vasiliki.
